ANOTHER CEMETERY
improvements Already made-To be one OF the
Finest Cemeteries sin the State.

Some time ago Messrs. A. a. Hyde and
Geo. C. Strong decided to make a cemetery
out of the land lying between the present
city cemetery and the Frisco railroad. A
company with. a capital stock of 100000
is being formed to take charge of it, each
share calling for s10O The shares are be
ing taken by the leading citizens Of the city
and it is expected that the ground can be
dedicated to its purpose by next spring.
The tract of land to be devoted to the
purpose consists of sixty acres and in fact
for some years Mr.. Hyde has
been of the opinion that
il was suitable site for a cemetery. As
a result he has been giving the subject
some consideration while in other cities,
looking over the plan of cemeteries. The
one which suggested itself as being of the
best is the Spring Grove, at Cincinnati.
From it he gained a number of ideas, as
well as from Mt Muncie cemetery at
Leavenworth.
At present thirty acres on the west side
of the tract has been plowed sown in blue
grass and over two miles of drives made.
Receiving a general idea from the owners
the drives were laid out and work superin-
tended bv Mr.. Albert Ellis, of
Keene, New Hampshire, who come to the
city some months ago with the best of rec
concentrations as a landscape gardener.
He had charge Of the laying out OF Mark
Tvain's place and many other similar
contracts in New England. Since his ar
rival in this city he has secured the con-
tract for doing the landscape gardening
for the premises of Mr.. B. W. Aldrich, q.
C.. Strong, J. O. Davidson and others. Ad-
joining the cemetery, Mr.. Ellis will con-
dnct a green house and keep flowers for
city and cemetery use.
At the southwest corner of the tract will
be the only entrance. The entrance way
will be of massive stone. A tasty office
will be erected near the entrance A
lot one hundred by one hundred and fifty
feet is reserved on the plat as command
ing site for chapel A vault near it will
also be constructed in order that funerals
could be conducted with comfort in stormy
weather.
The driveways are all of easy circles, there
being no short angles or straight lines. AT
the intersection of driveways small plot
/ is reserved for characterization. The burial
ground is divided into lots of various sizes,
ellipse in shape. A few sections have
been set apart for the burial ground of
children whose parents do not own lots.
Near the center will be mOnu-
ment and at each grave a single
stone all of Uniform size and shape.
1t is stated that some one shall have gen
eral supervision of the cemetery and that
uniformity throughout shall prevail. No
ona will no allowed IN mt walls or fences
around graves but it will be the object to
make it in appearance equal to anything
in the state.
The grading is almost completed and by
spring several hundred dollars will be eX-
pended in improvements. Telephone &C
comInodations viii be given the city from
a general office to the Office at the GENE
terry.

PICTURE OF SFDGwICK.

Hon Robert f.. Lawrence, during his
visit 70 his old New England home, last
summer. secured a cabinet photograph of
General John Sedgwick, for whom our
county was named. He has had Mr. Rog-
ers reproduce life-sized, or rather heroic
sized picture from this cabinet. which
work seems well, in fact most ezcellently
done. This has been put in an expensive
frame and Mr. Lawrence Is now ready 70
carry ont his original design of making the
county a present of the picture, which viii
be hung up in the court raoIn until the
new court house is built
The action of Mr.. Lawrence is p most
commendable one The Sedgwick family
are a distinguished one in American poll
tics. law and literature for nearly tive hun
bred years. Gen. John Sedgwick was born
in Connecticut in 1874, graduated at West
Point in 1881. served in the Florida and
Mexican wars, became major general IL
1862, and fell AT the head Of his corps az
Spottsylyanis, when the war was nearly
ended, in 1864.

FOUR THOUSAND PER DAY.

Mr.. George Dold, who will be at the
head of the Dold packing plant in Wichita
arrived in the city yesterday morning ac-
companied by J. +. Thomas special archi-
tect and engineer who has built nearly all
the larger packing houses of the west. The
plant will be for four thousand hogs per
day capacity. The lines for foundations
for several of the more important buildings
We're fixed upon. Some of the buildings
are to be immense affairs, all
of brick and stone, and one OF which
viii be six stories high The business
house itself will be 60Xl00 feet, three stories,
the upper floors of which will be devoted
entirely to Offices The amount of lumber.
stone and brick which these buildings viii
consume in construction is almost beyond
belief. The seeming delay in arriving was,
as the officers of the board of trade knew,
owing to the fact that Mr.. Thomas was
engaged on other work which could not be
relinquished sooner, and the Dolds. Ar
mours, Fowlers nor Kinyans will have no
other architect than the man who has
planned all the greater plants in the west.
The great work will soon commence to
move
Mr.. Thomas, who called with Mr.. Dold
last evening, in talking of the buildings
10 be erected in Wichita, said he had built
between twenty and thirty packing plants,
the last one being Il three hundred
thousand dollar plant for the Kingans
OF Kansas City, but, said he, | Will build

THE COURTS.
JUSTICE COURT.

The business at Justice Barrett's courT
yesterday consisted mostly OF civil cases.
At Justice Walkers the case against
Dell Haines came up. In evidence 1t ap-
peared very clearly that the buggy which
Doc Black accused the defendant Of en-
deavoring to make way with was only
used by Haines short time longer than
was hired by him. He was thus, Of
course, acquitted.
W. c. Beebe, the recently captured run
away, was brought into court. He looked
very much broken up and changed. His
long beard has been cut off, and his clothes
suffered considerably by his long fight.
He appeared however, in the best of spirits
and thinks that if his creditors would give
him an opportunity he would come out of
the difficulty without any Of them suffer
ing any loss. The charge to which be
must answer is obtaining money under
false pretenses from ". r. Tucker
Robert McCaslin is co-defendant with
him, but Beebe stoutly maintained that he
has nothing at all to do with the case; il
fact this was the only thing he would say
regarding the charge. Asking for a pre-
liminary hearing, it was set for is O'Clock
Tuesday, and his bond fixed at 81 COO Be
ing unable to secure this, he was remand
ed to jail.
PROBATE COURT.
Yesterday two inquests of insanity WIS
held at the probate court.
In the first the man whom Offic-
er Antrim had the night before taken
in charge at the postoffice
| building was the subject He gave his
| n I,
49, His home or his birthplace he did not
know His business he gave as teacher
of fencing and cook He appears TO
think that he is constantly pursued by de
tectives. The jury adjudged him insane
and ordered him sent to an insane asylum.
The other case was that of a. W.
Hash; the information being filed
| by a. f. Hash. He came
here from Akron, Ohio, where he is said at
| one time to have had some property and a
good business. The loss of both affected
his mind and together with his suffering
from exposure and cold brought on his in
sanity The verdict the same in this case as
| in the first.
Marriage license was yesterday issued
to Thomas B. Fogg and Ollie l.. Bolts,
| both of Wichita.
POLICE COURT.
| Yesterday Cora Howard and the inmates
of her place were I'D before Judge Dixon,
charged with taking $40 from a half
drunken man who had visited the mansion
the night before. The loser of the sum
was a plumber, and there was no doubt
about him having the money and parting
with it; but there proved to be absolutely
no grounds for his accusing the girls with
| the theft
| Some gamblers came in later in the af-
ternoon and paid 500 for carrying on their
| business and upon their departure young
man was brought down from East Douglas
| avenue to answer to the charge of va
grancy." He pleaded not guilty and will
have hearing today.

Geo. Harris, returned Tuesday night from
a trip of inspection of fire departments IN
large cities, and the purchase OF some more
fire department apparatus, as formerly Or
dered by the city council. They visited
Kansas City, st. Louis and Chicago,
spending enough time in each city to take
a look at the departments and inquire af-
ter the efficiency of the service. While at
Chicago they made the purchase of

ment. lie referred to cities in

Wichita, thousands less in population and
in business and not to be compared to the
metropolis of the southwest, but they
have much better departments than Wich-
Ia and they have no better than they
should have. One city mentioned had a
force Of Twenty-Five men, four companies
and abundance of machinery to protect
much less property than is exposed to fire
danger in Wichita. He thought it quite
probable that ere long the city would call
for good steamer and other fire fighting
machinery.
When the equipments already ordered
arrive the laddieS will number fifteen.
